SIT #113

Thursday, June 6, 2013

I'm here today to share Sketches in Thyme's first sketch of the month. I took a few liberties with this one. I've seen lots of fantastic pages with plays on circles out in blog land. So, on top of flipping the horizontal strip, from the sketch below, vertically, I was inspired by all the circle bits to create this.

I started this page by adhering a few strips of Washi, along with a couple strips of patterned paper, torn to appear as though it were Washi, too, vertically, down the center of the green, polka dot, base page and anchoring a couple of them with black-threaded, zig-zag, machine stitches.

I then used a chevron stencil and a little, White ink to create the chevron pattern, which I also outlined with a black, journaling pen, before stamping a few, Jet Black, ink rings, as well as gold embossing a bunch of botanical bits, throughout the design.

My photos were then cut in the shape of circles; adhered in their respective locations, both flush with the base page surface and with foam tape; and a few of them were further framed with Black, cardstock rings. A trio of tiny, word stickers...

and my "the good life", chipboard title, which had a gold label, for journaling, 1st sprinkler day of summer, April 2, 2012, tucked under its top right edge, prep the page for butterflies. The latter were stamped, in Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie inks, on White cardstock, hand cut out, glittered, and adhered just at their centers.

And here's this month's Challenge #113 sketch to get you moving in the right direction.

Don't forget to have your takes linked up, in the right hand column of the Sketches in Thyme Blog, by the close of the month on Sunday, June 30, 2013, in order to be in the running to be named one of our Top 3 and have the opportunity to guest design with us during the month of August. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a terrific day!

I just love coming to visit here. I could peruse this layout all day and find thing after thing that I love and want to try myself. Amazing!!! I see you have W9 listed as the maker of the white ink you used. Drop me a line and let me know if that's your fave white ink. I can't seem to find one that stamps very well. It shows up great on your page. Hugs!

I am a former kindergarten teacher turned wife of 16 years to BJ and stay-at-home, homeschool mommy to three beautiful gifts from God, Ezekiel (14), Adina (9), and Kaden (4). When I'm not taking care of or playing with my family, you can find me cooking, baking, gardening, sewing, and of course, papercrafting. My love for the latter started over thirteen years ago, but my love for creating began before birth. I feel overwhelmingly blessed by all God has given me and know that if I continue to keep my eyes on Him, He'll keep me soaring.
